3. The user must have object existence (*OBJEXIST) authority to all of the objects in the UDFS.

User-defined file system (UDFS)

Specifies the path name of the existing UDFS to be deleted. It must be in one of the following two forms:

• /dev/qaspXX/udfsname.udfs, where XX is one of the valid system or basic user auxiliary storage pool (ASP) numbers on the system, and udfsname is the name of the user-defined file system. All other parts of the name must appear as in the example above.
• /dev/aspname/udfsname.udfs, where aspname is one of the valid independent ASP names on the system, and udfsname is the name of the user-defined file system. All other parts of the name must appear as in the example above.

The name part of the path must be unique within the specified qaspXX or aspname directory.

Wildcard characters such as '*' and '?' are not allowed in this parameter. The command will fail if the UDFS specified is currently mounted.

This is a required parameter.
